    摘要: A delivery system for delivering a prosthetic heart valve to the aortic valve annulus. The system includes a delivery catheter having a steering mechanism thereon for delivering a balloon-expandable prosthetic heart valve to the aortic annulus in an antegrade fashion through an introducer passing into the left ventricle through its apex. The introducer may have a more floppy distal section than a proximal section to reduce trauma to the heart wall. The delivery catheter includes a deflecting segment just proximal to a distal balloon to facilitate positioning of the prosthetic heart valve in the proper orientation within the annulus. A trigger in a catheter handle may be coupled to a deflection wire that actuates the deflecting segment, while a slider in the handle controls retraction of a valve pusher. A pre-dilation valvuloplasty procedure may also be utilized.

    摘要: A delivery system and method for delivering a prosthetic heart valve to the aortic valve annulus. The system includes a delivery catheter having a steering mechanism thereon for delivering a balloon-expandable prosthetic heart valve to the aortic annulus in an antegrade fashion through an introducer passing into the left ventricle through its apex. The introducer may have a more floppy distal section than a proximal section to reduce trauma to the heart wall while preserving good operating field stability. The delivery catheter includes a deflecting segment just proximal to a distal balloon to facilitate positioning of the prosthetic heart valve in the proper orientation within the aortic annulus. A trigger in a catheter handle may be coupled to a deflection wire that actuates the deflecting segment, while a slider in the handle controls retraction of a valve pusher. The prosthetic heart valve may be installed over the existing calcified leaflets, and a pre-dilation valvuloplasty procedure may also be utilized.

    摘要: Provided are compositions comprising recombinant DNA polymerases that include amino acid substitutions, insertions, deletions, and/or exogenous features that confer modified properties upon the polymerase for enhanced single molecule sequencing. Such properties can include enhanced metal ion coordination, reduced exonuclease activity, reduced reaction rates at one or more steps of the polymerase kinetic cycle, decreased branching fraction, altered cofactor selectivity, increased yield, increased thermostability, increased accuracy, increased speed, increased readlength, and the like. Also provided are nucleic acids which encode the polymerases with the aforementioned phenotypes, as well as methods of using such polymerases to make a DNA or to sequence a DNA template.

    摘要: A method for automatically adjusting signal output power of a ZigBee wireless module. The method includes sending a signal with an output power from a transmitter of a ZigBee module to a receiver. The ZigBee module includes a power amplifier/low noise amplifier (PA/LNA) circuit. The output power can be adjusted between a minimum level and a maximum level. Additionally, the method includes generating a Link Quality Indicator (LQI) by the receiver based on the signal strength and returning the LQI to the ZigBee module. If the LQI is not within a predetermined range between a maximum value and a minimum value, the method includes adjusting the output power for sending next signal. If the output power from the transmitter has reached to the minimum level or the maximum level, the method further includes adjusting the PA/LNA circuit of the ZigBee module for maintaining the LQI within the predetermined range.

    摘要: The present invention relates to a collapsible/foldable structure suitable for a variety of applications, such as an animal shelter, pet carrier transportation device, or a collapsible consumer storage container in general, such as a cooler or ice chest. The structure comprises a top roof and a bottom platform defining a top and bottom of said structure and a vertically disposed lower side section on said bottom platform. Front and rear walls are included. The structure also includes a pair of sidewalls each pivotally attached to the roof to facilitate inward collapse of the sidewalls when the sidewalls are pivoted toward the bottom platform. The sidewalls are defined by an upper and middle section including the lower vertically disposed side section, wherein the upper and middle sections are pivotally attached to one another and the middle and lower sections are pivotally attached to one another so that the upper and middle sidewall sections can be pivoted inwardly towards said bottom platform, to provide a compact collapsed condition.
